Got my copies earlier this week. Y’all can join in on the fun when Batman/Static: Beyond #1 drops next Wednesday.

NEW EP! NEW EP! This week, we're talking to the FANTASTIC journalist and comics writer @evnarc.bsky.social about "Murder at the Mansion"!!! Bishop! Sage! Beak! Angel! Murder! A Mansion! Expert commentary! What else could you ask for?!?!? LISTEN!!!!!!

You gotta listen to this one! It's got Evan Narcisse (@evnarc.bsky.social), for Pete's sake!!!!

It’s absurd how many incredible pages and spreads I still have from my Miles Davis graphic novel. Seriously, buy some art, jeez!

I’ll be signing Bat/Stat #1 at Dragon’s Lair Austin in two weeks!

It has always been important to me that our library is this totally open, free, democratic resource for studying video game history, and we've got a good process. We acquire material, catalog it, digitize it, upload it, promote it, repeat. Our staff size is 2, our overhead low, and our impact huge.

I talked to the fine folks at Splash Pages about my new comix Kickstarter, ANTIMATTER, and other stuff, including scatological super villains. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROOI...

it’ll seem like I’m kissing up to get more work but @conroyforreal.bsky.social does such a great job of articulating editorial philosophy here.

It's the final order cutoff for Batman/Static: Beyond #1, which means today's the last day for retailers to order it. If you need help telling your comics shop that you want it, here's some preview stuff! First up, cover with full trade dress and interview: (1/2)

Emergent storytelling coalescing during my time in Chicago. None of this was planned but definitely aligns to a theme…

Yes, and let's also remember #YourSlipIsShowing, the Black women activists who predicted all of this first and received no credit. "Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color... If only more people had paid attention."

🤜Fighting a vampire 🧛, some 🐧killer penguins and 💥⚖️exploding lawyers with a 😻cute cat 😻 wielding 🧨fireworks while dodging oncoming 🚃 trains? This can be you in the Beatdown City Survivors demo. #screenshotsaturday store.steampowered.com/app/3383040/...

Some of y'all might want to read this before Bat/Stat #1 comes out...

I'll be talking with @simonparkin.bsky.social today for a live recording of the @myperfectconsole.bsky.social podcast as part of the University of Chicago's amazing Year of Games Symposium. Come through if you can! www.eventbrite.com/e/my-perfect...

Hi! Today I made a knot in my brain trying to describe what makes good criticism, and why some of it can feel a bit unfair. This is complicated, so I'd love to hear your opinion! malindy.medium.com/what-critici...

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

This is the D'Angelo performance that I've never forgotten. This song was already a huge hit but the way he took it from contemporary R&B to church revival illustrated how connected those idioms are. A revelation for those who didn't know, and an affirmation for those who did.

You will very rarely see this type of identity politics named and condemned as such bsky.app/profile/atru...

All the white people who loved Emilia Perez are awfully quiet now, and that's not shocking. But it is disappointing. Kiss of the Spider-Woman deserves to be seen.

I loved Kiss of the Spider Woman at Sundance, and NOW, in the current times, its anti-fascist story that embraces queer and trans people as essential to revolution is much needed. And - it's an all-Latino cast. Great music and greater actors. Watch it if you can 👇🏽

Y'know, when people have asked me about my dream game, I've always said a runaway slave + Underground Railroad project or something set in or around the Haitian Revolution. Someone somewhere is already taking this on and infusing the work with all the courage that the subject matter deserves.

They also asked themselves if they could deal with public "backlash" and said no, which Black entertainers also deal with every day. Unlike Black entertainers, they think they can pick or choose profit or pain.

"Can we sell black characters in this political climate?" That is what Ubisoft asked itself and then answered, "No." Which is a skill issue and bigotry on THEIR part because black entertainers are out here selling their wares EVERY DAMN DAY, antiblackness be damned. Our culture MOVES NUMBERS.

yeah, trump has made very clear that he doesn’t think black people deserve to be in jobs of influence! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/u...

This remains the most important piece i’ve written about the goals and ideological principles of the second Trump administration www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... bsky.app/profile/jame...

#Comics folks, I need you to pull up to this one. The world sucks right now, and we have the opportunity to do a little bit of good for a displaced and marginalized member of our community. Please join me in supporting this KS campaign! www.kickstarter.com/projects/den...

This is extremely loud

Thank you, Tony! And Ubisoft doesn't get a pass because it made some interesting games in the early 2010s - not if they abandon their commitment & go back to the same old colonialist history narratives!

☺️ Gosh - thank you, Evan! I've learned so much from you. And YES, there is a history to this! 🙏

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke www.gamefile.news/p/scoop-ubis...

You, yes you, could work with Albert, one of the very best people in all of comics.

"'How We Read' is an interview series with interesting people about their experiences and habits while reading." This is me talking to them. howweread.substack.com/p/hwr-17-eva...

Comic books are (and this isn’t hyperbole) the greatest story telling medium that has ever existed. The combination of text and images rendered with a human hand is the most direct path from one mind to another. All other medium pale in comparison.

DBL: a secret universal constant, one of the unseen forces stabilizing and binding the cosmos. Don't fuck with it; it will blow up in your face. DBL is deodorant brand loyalty.

I actually think it's worth listening to this interview. Coates does a really great job refusing to allow Klein to frame everything as in service to politics, and instead forcing him to meet Coates on the more essential ground of morality. It's frustrating to listen to, but also instructive.
